The past 3 days have been a whirl wind and unfortunately I have had to return to England. On Thursday I received a phone call, informing me that some routine tests I had taken previous to our departure, had come back with sever problems and that I must return to be operated on immediately. So within 24 hours I was on a plane home and on Tuesday I will be going into hospital. The biggest problem is that I will have to then rest for 4 weeks!!! This will prevent me returning to Africa and continuing with the journey. Therefore, ‘Flashdance’ is currently being donated to a worthy cause and Tarka and ‘Herbert’ are going on Alone. Tarka will in fact cover the distance much quicker without me and is hoping to make it home for Christmas as apposed to in the New Year.
I have been assured I don’t smell as bad as I did after China , but still im offer to shower and wash clothes etc, so will write more when im not quite so tiered and dirty.

Katie,
I’m so sorry to hear that. What a bummer… Do give me a shout if there is anything I can do to help / cheer you up till Tarka gets home.
